Yeah, my family started watching that one and I noped straight out of there. A lot of teenagers here in Korea love it.

Of course.

Thirty Helens agree: Backerkit is a pain in the arse. "If I had 6000 emails, why would I need Backerkit?!" Thirty Helens agree.

And now I can watch movies in Godot with a stock photo TV and a CRT shader applied to the video. Wild.

I might be able to manage 30 Helens but that's as far as I can go.

Have you ever watched the animations of Felix Colgrave? Similar grimdark mixed with whimsical weirdness. You might enjoy them.

all Posts are either Dyonisian or Athenian in that they either a) involve an exceedingly complex year-long birthing process involving madness, sewing them in your leg and sending them abroad or b) you hit your head one day and they jump out fully formed

Been thinking about making a horror game based around watching satellite TV late at night in the 80s. Realized I could include public domain classic horror/scifi films on one of the channels. So now I'm watching a lot of Roger Corman movies.

So… um… comparatively minor mutual aid request: Because of how the timing works, I only got paid for one shift last week, and so I’m dead broke until Friday. I could use a little bit of help to keep fed until then, if anyone can spare a little paypal or interac. ❤️ sincerelynataliereed at gm**l

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

If you're like me, you left something incomplete, thinking "I'll just finish that tomorrow"... then forgot that you have a game-breaking fail state hidden somewhere that'd take five minutes to fix if you could only remember it.

If life is just a series of choices then VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS is life itself. It is probably the worst thing I've ever seen & heard in my life, and I've seen SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND. It gets 5 stars simply for existing in defiance of all reason, logic, and God Herself. On Tubi now!

Tiff summed it up perfectly: "When a TV show does a musical ep and none of the cast can actually sing so it's *HORRIBLE* and just embarrassing for everyone involved? This is that but a whole movie." (She's having a blast.) She also called Pia Zadora "a triple non-threat." I could not love her more.

Moopsy was in a really cuddly mood tonight. Came out of the cage twice, pancaked and chittered while I told her she was a good little creature.

I've had the rescue goldfish for a week now. Six of the twelve have died; all the survivors appear to be in either good condition or are visibly improving. On Monday, the temporary tank I was keeping them in sprang a leak. Last night, the canister filter in their new tank stopped working.

I had a poo-headed teacher in high school. Several, actually.

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.0

I am of the opinion, unchanged since 1997, that not only should it be possible for your late campaign Necromunda gang to face a C'Tan shard, _they should bloody well have to_. No leaving the campaign without giving the rest of us a legend to tell round the chem pit... or a cautionary tale.

Rastovich thinks honesty is the best policy in this panel from La Cosa Glasnostra, my new comic! I think honesty is pretty good, but not as good as backing La Cosa Glasnostra on Kickstarter. kck.st/3VKwykC

I would like to note this same cool trick works for mecha CRPGs and comics.

Love the #TTRPG collection in your Itchio's library? Here's now a DIRECT and SIMPLE way to give them the FIVE STARS they deserve. 🤩 Head to: itch.io/library/thin... A kind word also boosts the designer's morale in our troubled times. #indiettrpg
